Subramanian Swamy Suggests Anna to Include Politicians in Anticorruption Movement

New Delhi: Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy today suggested veteran activist Anna Hazare to include politicians in the movement against corruption. Sway said that Anna was surrounded by NGOs, which were “bogus.”

“Unfortunately, Hazare is surrounded by NGOs who are bogus. He needs politicians to handle politicians,” Swamy said.

He praised the Gandhian’s campaign for an “effective” Lokpal bill, but said “the basic error of Hazare was to keep the politicians out.”

“His team should have some politicians,” Swamy said. On the controversy surrounding the CD containing purported conversation between former law minister Shanthi Bhushan, Samajwadi Party chief mulayam Singh Yadav and ex-SP leader Amar Singh, Swamy questioned “why didn’t those who were aware of the CD approach the police?”

On the demand for Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddurappa’s resignation over illegal mining issue, Swamy said there was no need for that.
